It's 'The Smiths' but generally that's not used on invitations. I did have one invitation where I wrote 'The Smith Family' on the outside and listed them all individually on the inner envelope because there were so many of them.

I so love your sig pic. I can't read any of your posts without hearing them as Sue Sylvester yelling them through the megaphone.

1. This has nothing to do with invitations it is just a general question

2. Yes pumpkinpumpkin I have graduated 5th grade.. and then some...

I was knew that "The Smiths" was correct, however I have several friends who are 25-30 with family blogs that refer to their families as the "Smith's". I have mentioned this to a few of them and they refuse to think that I am right on this.

You need less dumb friends.

The worst is when you see "The Smith's" on a mailbox. Unless they mean "The Smiths' house," but that would require a plural possessive, signified by the apostrophe going on the outside of the S. I mean, I guess it would be "the Smith's house" if it was a blacksmith and he lived alone.

I didn't ask if you'd graduated 5th grade. I asked if you graduated from HS, because this was 5th grade material.
